Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an electronic cash register that can display a non-registration status.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] For example, in electronic cash registers, even if the registration mode is specified, the registration operation cannot be executed unless a request is made. It is necessary to notify customers, but in the past, this was done by placing a sign on the cash register with a message such as ``Stopped.''

However, with such a system, it is necessary to prepare the bids in advance, which is a nuisance during the registration process and is troublesome to manage.

Furthermore, electronic cash registers are known to go into a lock mode and disable key operations if the operator temporarily leaves his/her seat during the registration process; however, in such cases, conventionally no notification was given to the customer. Either they didn't have one, or they put a sign on the cashier table to let people know.

However, if no information is given, customers will be dissatisfied and the service will be poor.In addition, in the case of bidding, the bidding must be prepared in advance as described above, which will be a nuisance during the registration process and will not be managed properly. There was a drawback that it was troublesome.

[Purpose of the Invention] This invention has been made to eliminate such drawbacks, and the present invention has been made to notify customers by displaying the non-registration status on the customer display unless they are signing on in the registration mode. The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic cash register that can eliminate the need to prepare a ticket to notify the state of non-registration.Furthermore, this invention aims to provide an electronic cash register that can prevent registration from being locked while registering product sales data. To provide an electronic cash register which can display the non-registration status on a customer display to notify the customer at any time, and also in this case, it is unnecessary to prepare a ticket.

Furthermore, this invention locks the registration while registering the product sales data, and then when the lock is released and the registration process is restarted, the total amount of the product sales data recorded up to that point is set as 51. The purpose is to provide an electronic 1-yash register that can be displayed and improve customer service.

[Summary of the invention 1] This invention provides a dot i-i-x display system for customers and operators, and a printer is installed between them to register and process product sales data and display it on each of the above-mentioned displays.
